hey girl....

I understand your emotional needs, and first and for most, not sure if you can do the lap band again. Something for you to research. I am scheduled for my band on 12/3 and literally can not wait. I must say, I did go to 2 doctors. The first one, I told him I was self pay, and to me it seemed once he saw dollar signs he could care less what I did or didn't do. So I went to a 2nd Dr. and the attitude was night and day. He was kind, caring, and very somber about the whole procedure.

The one thing I can tell you that has been drilled into my head, the band is a TOOL. Only I can make the true difference in changing my habits, and lifestyle to make this work for me. But I have had way too much support from all sides, more good stories and outcomes than bad, but you have to want the lifestyle change, not a band aid.

I wish you the very best in your Quest, and I guess in all this rambling, make sure the doctor you choose makes you comfortable....your paying him for a service, and he/she should be with you to the very end.

Please feel free to write me, if you need to vent, or ramble....I am a stay home mom, and always enjoy meeting new people.

Good luck, and happy holidays

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
